Automotive Service Consultant Trainee – Paid Training | No Weekends
San Jose, CA | Full-Time | Family-Owned & Operated Since 2005
Great With People? We Can Teach You the Automotive Side.
- At GIC Car Clinic, we believe the right attitude, communication skills, and customer care mindset matter more than already knowing cars.
- We are a busy, fast-growing, family-owned auto repair shop in San Jose. Our customers trust us, our technicians are strong, and our systems are built to help the right person succeed.
- We are looking for someone who is warm, organized, confident, honest, mature, and naturally good with people. You do not need to come from an automotive repair shop background. If you are great at taking care of customers, communicating clearly, staying organized, following a process, and building trust, we can train the automotive side.
- No weekends. No late nights. No dealership chaos.
- Just a real opportunity to learn, grow, and build a strong, long-term career.
Compensation
- $20–$23 per hour to start, based on experience, communication skills, sales ability, and customer-facing background.
- This role includes paid training, hands-on coaching, and a path to grow into a higher-earning Automotive Service Advisor position over time.
- As you develop your ability to present value, build customer trust, follow up consistently, and help customers make confident decisions, your earning potential can grow.
Career Growth
- This role is designed as a training path into a higher-earning Automotive Service Advisor position.
- High-performing Service Advisors at GIC Car Clinic can earn $8,300–$11,600+ per month, but that level is earned through strong sales ability, customer trust, consistency, and production over time.
- We do not expect someone without automotive experience to start at that level right away. We are looking for the right person with the right attitude, people skills, and a growth mindset.
